If there is one Danish custom that Americans should seriously consider adopting, it's the concept of hygge — that is, basically living a life that emphasizes being cozy and content with and delighted by the little things in life. Pronounced hoo-ga, the word hygge has definitely been creeping into the lives of many of us by default this year.
When it comes to the cozy life, you might picture a woman curled up with a good book under a giant blanket. However, there's no reason why men can't enjoy hygge as well, and that's especially true for dads.
This gift guide is designed for the dad in your life who can't help but be cozy, and hopefully it will help him reach his true hygge potential. Here are 14 hygge gifts for dads that are under $50.
Whiskey Glasses
If dad is looking to cozy up in front of the fire this holiday season, chances are he's going to want to enjoy a nice glass of whiskey or bourbon while he does so. This gorgeous set of 4 glasses from Liiton features a beautiful mountain range design which actually aerates the whisky as dad swirls it around in his glass. Now that's form and function we think dads will appreciate!

Once you have the blanket figured out, you can move on to one of my other favorite cozy items: slippers! Personally, I always feel like the fuzzier they are, the better, but different people have different preferences.
Options:
- Longbay Men's Cozy Memory Foam Slippers ($20.95)
- HomeTop Men's Indoor/Outdoor Fuzzy Wool Fleece Memory Foam Slippers ($17.99)

My favorites? These felted booties from Felt N Yarn on Etsy.
Sweatpants
A lot of us love to live in our sweats as it is, but it turns out that there's even a Danish word for the pants you wear around the house but would never wear out: hyggebukser. Obviously, no hygge gift guide for dads would be complete without this option!
